I always remove the egg membranes. Once dry, they're pretty easy to peel off, and make the eggshells easier to grind, make a fine powder and don't smell.

That is an idea. Great that you figured that out. I am going to do this now and keep the membrane because the membrane itself holds its own benefits to health.

The bubbles under the egg membrane are from the reaction of Calcium carbonate and heat. The heart causes the calcium carbonate to break down into carbon dioxide and calcium this causing the bubble under the membrane :3. BTW the main component of eggs is calcium carbonate.

Not chemically pure calcium, but calcium is quite reactive so finding "pure" calcium in the wild is nigh impossible. A calcium carbonate molecule is one calcium with one carbon and three oxygen atoms.

Yes, that was thought too ! :)

I grind up egg shells for my worm bin! I always wondered about using it for my lizard and frogs, but I never heard of anyone else doing that so, I bought calcium. Nice!!!

Speaking as a chicken mom that regularly makes calcium from our eggs I would never use supermarket eggs for this purpose. In the US at least chemicals are fed to the chickens, chemicals are used to wash their eggs and chemicals are sprayed on clean eggs to keep them from going bad before they can be shipped and sold. You will not find anything on labels because they are not required to tell us. Boiling and low temp oven baking will not get rid of all of it. I know it's different in other parts of the world but I know a lot of your viewers are American. I'm so happy you did this video. I think our pets would be much healthier if we incorporated more natural solutions.

Melissa Jones Unlike the US, in the UK it is actually a legal requirement not to clean eggs or spray them with chemicals. Eggs are just cleaned with water and that’s it. I know in the US the opposite is a legal requirement and I’ve always found this interesting :)

Thank you for that video my Leapard Geko named Stittel loves it!!!!

Love how you cover everything and your accent.

I just add a few oyster shells to my tank. Figure they'll slowly disolve in the tank water and less effort. Plus snails can chew on if they like. There's a place in a nearby river where the ground is made of small clam & snail shells, I assume built up over centuries.. I figure I could also use those.

Well, if you have a kind of lizard that likes to eat eggs you know how to give 'em some calcium!

Make sure you are using the falter blade. If you use the one that points up you will not get as fine a grind

Pet stores sell cuttle fish bone for birds so you can do that! 🤗

I made calcium with eggs about a year ago. I found the egg shells didn't stick as well as the calcium you buy at the store. I used a mortar and pestle as well as a food processor but I couldn't get it into a fine powder, it was more the size of sugar than powder. I just put it in my geckos calcium dish so there would be some use for it.

Can I just crack the egg rinse it and put it in with out boiling and without crushing them ?

You all explaing how to get the powder but no one tells us the amount of calcium we are supposed to take daily. I want to put the powder in capsules. Please tell me how much is the daily dosage. Thank you

If you but the bone from a. pet shop should you boil it? I mean can't imagine how many nasty people have touched them after touching who knows what.

Can human you this powder or only meant for pets as calcium supplement?

hey I'm getting a bearded dragon soon and I wanted to know if the egg shell powder could also be a calcium powder for them I'm just not sure since its not many topics about it

Is it edible? and if yes where can I put it and how can I eat it !!

Is it save to use the egg shell one all the time? I have a poultry farm and I was just wondering

Boiling the egg shells is not necessary is you are going to bake the egg shell in the oven because baking them will kill off anything on them> The egg would work better for a Tegu or Monitor.

OMG thx for the video

When to toss out the egg calcium? Like how long to keep it until it expire

What if you don't have a grinder or mixer? Any way around that?

what kind of calcium is it d3 or the kind you can leave in the tank

Did anyone at the start think that that fish was the claciam that she made 🦎

do you remove the eggshell membrane or leave it?

hey can you use normal fish bones and just mash them??
